The Bagman, a 16-bit point-and-click and survival horror game, planned for Nintendo Switch

Bad Tasty is currently hard at work on its new game The Bagman, which will be released on Nintendo Switch. Development is early so launch timing hasn’t been decided.

The Bagman is a 16-bit point-and-click/survival horror game. It features stealth, NPCs you’re able to command, and slasher gore if that’s your thing.

Much more information can be found in the following overview:

The story that you are about to witness is one of horror, slaughter, and terror.

For Eloise, it was supposed to be a normal babysitting job; free pizza, a sleeping baby, and a few friends sneaking in to keep her company through the night.

However, what transpired that evening will shock and horrify you, for the child wasn’t the only thing asleep, and something much older refuses to rest.

Key Features

• Retro graphics, from retro hardware: The game is being developed not only for modern platforms but also for the retro console the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. The games art style, color palettes, and overall design embrace the hardware constraints, adding to an authentic, beautifully crafted 16‑bit pixel‑art aesthetic that we love.
• Commandable characters: Eloise doesn’t have to be the final girl, and you are not alone. You are joined by two of your best friends. They are there to assist, but they’re counting on your instructions to help them survive. Once they’re dead, they’re dead.
• Time moves on: Events play out whether you are there or not – plenty to see, miss and catch through on subsequent playthroughs.
• Multiple Endings: Choices matter and have knock-on effects. Multiple endings come down to the choices that you make, the paths you walk down and the friends who get torn apart.
• Hide and seek: Many horrors await, and they won’t wait passively. They will hunt you room to room, and have their own behaviors and cravings. But they can also be tricked and coerced depending on your survival and stealth skills.
• Stealth + Point and click: The game combines fast, stealth‑based mechanics with our love of point‑and‑click adventures. Alongside running, hiding, and surviving the horrors that await you, you will solve puzzles and uncover plots… everything you would expect from a quality point‑and‑click experience.
• Lots of death animations: We are sparing no expense when it comes to the multitude of ways you, your friends, and other unlucky strangers can meet their end.

A trailer for the game is included below.
